I don't want to sound over dramatic, but finding solutions to issues as a team is a strength and trust building exercise in real life, and we find the same kind of positive 'we know can do this together' results come from figuring out the puzzles in the game.ĭave: Some of it is definitely lost on my son, but more than that is the backstory from the first Portal game. These kinds of cooperative achievements are great for couples because they are so positive and real life rewarding. Portal allows you to brainstorm, have real life conversations and problem solve together. And even though neither of us are children (well, maybe me, spiritually) he was, and is, definitely the puzzle mastermind. I would say that playing the first Portal was as much of a cooperative experience for me as the sequel in that regard. Curiosity drove me to play it, but I was terrible at it so he coaxed me through many of the more frustrating parts and manually assisted in others.
Jessica: Matt played Portal when it was first released. It's invaluable and was useful when playing with experienced players too. I can't imagine playing with him without the new Ping tool. But he's beginning to get it and I look forward to sitting back and letting him figure out some of the puzzles soon. With my son, he has no Portal experience and so the mechanics and concept are pretty alien to him, so I have pretty much told him everything he needs to do so far. Other rooms, I was completely lost and my partner in science figured it out.
Some rooms we walked into and we both kinda just knew what to do.
Who solved more of the puzzles?)ĭave: With Michael and Sebastian, both were very familiar with Portal, so it was fun. GeekDad: Did your partner have experience with Portal on their own, or were you in the driver's seat? (For those of you playing with your children, be honest.
